Framed (TV)

Detective Mike Santini (Lowe) was the youngest police officer ever to make Detective 3rd Grade in the NYPD, but when his partner was busted for taking a bribe, Santini was suspected of complicity and sent back to uniform for five years. While on vacation with his wife (Coppola) and kids, Santini gets the break that could get his career back on the fast track when he spots Eddie Meyers (Neill), the key witness in a money-laundering case, hiding out in the Bahamas. With some ingenious police work, Santini lands Meyers back in custody and on a plane to the United States. Meyers agrees to testify at the highly publicized trial on one condition: Santini must be the one to interrogate him in preparation for trial. While in the safety of a luxurious and secluded compound, Meyers begins to feed Santini information - and draw him into his world of loose cash, beautiful women and the jet-set lifestyle. The lines are blurred and the stakes are high as the relationship between Santini and Meyers becomes friendly - or does it? Is Meyers trying to help Santini or ultimately leave him high and dry? Will Santini succumb to temptation or do the right thing? The art of deception is masterfully woven in this psychological thriller where truth and lies are indistinguishable.
